The Elm Tree in Bromley

Good Food great value and friendly staff, keep up the great work.☘️

Friday was excellent Simply Retro performed on stage. Music was fabulous, danced all night

Lovely friendly place highly recommended

1st time here but definitely not the last Loved the whole experience Great pub, lovely staff & scrumptious food

Love this place... Never disappoints!

Friendly and efficient staff and service.

The culinary experience was delightful, and the customer service was exceptional. The staff and manager demonstrated a remarkable commitment to fulfilling every request, embodying the essence of Irish hospitality. The hearty and delectable cuisine, coupled with the charming ambiance, created a truly memorable dining experience.

I chose The Elm Tree for the reception after my mother's cremation. The service was excellent from the moment I booked until I paid the final bill. The buffet choices were very fresh and just as ordered. In fact, there was too much food, so amazing value for money.

What a nice pub. Had a daytime school reunion in there and the place was buzzing. Plenty of TV screens for football and the food looked great.

I eat here regularly food is always spot on service is attractive and attentive front of house and management superb I took a take away meal tonight to a hotel while working away still red hot tasty when I I got to my room 100%always

Proper pub and my favourite in Beckenham!!

A well run pub, food is good and there is often live music. So nice to have parking.

Very welcoming, and polite chipolate sausages are tremendous

Would never go back here! The staff were rude and unwelcoming. We went there to celebrate my sons 13th birthday, not one member of staff smiled or greeted us as we walked in. A prawn cocktail was advertised on the menu online but was a completely different t menu when we arrived. The food was ok. The pudding was awful! We ordered what we thought was a sundae. We was so disappointed. What came up was 3 scoops of ice cream, strawberry, vanilla & chocolate a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a lump of honeycomb plonked on the top! Was not worth £6.95 and was not a sundae! Do not waste your money here!!! Absolute terrible experience

Went in for a few drinks to watch the Champions League final. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Would be back again when back in London.

A friendly welcome, well-kept beer and a big garden at the back - what more could you ask for a summer evening?

Lovely irish staff a few idiots may spoil atmosphere sitting outside the front, but great pub and easy parking

Went here early for a Sunday lunch. Very friendly staff. Promptly served. Had the roast and was very nice. Plenty of meat and veg.

Lovely pub with a grew atmosphere. Super friendly and always busy. Garden is a must in summer.

I cannot recognise these bad reviews as I have used this Pub a couple of times for business. The food is excellent (very generous portion of Caesar Salad) and the service outstanding. I needed to leave to drop something off locally after coffee before I had ordered lunch and was allowed to leave and pay when I ordered lunch. Coffee is fantastic value compared to Starbucks etc. All the staff were kind and helpful. I was very impressed that when a group left a table near me a member off staff not only thoroughly cleaned the table but used a broom and dustpan to sweep the whole area under the table. Highly recommended.

My friend was not allowed into the establishment allgedly due to the way he walked up to the entrance and told he had too much to drink despite leading and not drinking. This was after he presented a foreign ID and was asked an excessive number of questions regarding it, leading us to conclude that he was discriminated against on the basis of nationality.

Lovely huge local pub, food looks amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Great food, professional hospitality and amazing outside area.

Good pub. Nice Irish people. Good service. Great food.

Nice little find ! Great food with extremely friendly staff. Good selection of beers and spirits. Fantastic garden area too.

Always a fabulous place to visit - staff always so welcoming - sooo friendly with my nervous staffie - food was amazing a prawn and mussels linguine and a generous 10oz succulent steak, all served piping hot, absolutely delicious!!

Lovely pub good food great staff

Free car parking at the back, Food portions are quite large with main meals averaging around £15. Probably best to book in advance on Sundays. TV screens showing Sky sports

We held my Mum's wake at The Elm Tree on Monday 29th April. I cannot praise the staff enough for the kindness and friendliness shown to us. The food laid on for over 30 people was lovely - a good selection of buffet food and plenty of it. The pub has a private section which was perfect for the occasion but it is not shut away from the rest of the pub so there is a good atmosphere also. Plenty of comfortable seating and there was a screen where we were able to show photographs during the afternoon. My husband and I also visited the pub on two separate occasions prior to the funeral for lunch. On both visits, the food was excellent. We had liver & bacon, burger, cumberland sausage & mash and fish & chips. Cannot fault any of these dishes. Service is also very prompt. The pub is very roomy, plenty of seating but also great if people want a drink at the bar or to sit outside. Everyone was friendly but particular thanks go to Adele. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent great decor good atmosphere

Great friendly place. Saw a live band and the atmosphere was great

Had lunch with 15 art friends. We had a warm welcome from the staff and everyone was helpful. I was surprised how many people were there on a Tuesday lunchtime which was nice to see. The food and service was good and everyone enjoyed their meal. I would go back and I’m sure my friends would too.

Great pub, lovely staff and excellent band

Great pub. Live music, sports screens. Good food and great service, you can tell it's run by an Irish landlord. Can't recommend it highly enough.

What a lovely pub!! I don’t normally write reviews but the food was delicious and fresh, the staff and atmosphere was lovely and it was a bonus the sun was shining so we sat in the garden area. We will definitely come back!

Very nice place for a meal,great atmosphere and efficient staff,food was okies,defo worth a visit people's

Like it when the Biblecode Sundays are on the bill!

A very friendly and welcoming Irish pub on Elmers End Green. Plenty of TV screens showing multiple sporting events. Excellent quality food and generous portion size at very reasonable prices. A fine selection of guest beers and serves fruit juices and coffee too. Bands on at weekend evenings.

What you doing sitting at home? Get your self to the elm tree fantastic food amazing staff and an all round great atmosphere!! What you waiting for? sunday roasts are lush and vegetarian/ kids options available if your a burger lover the elm tree house burger is a winner! 5 stars wish i could give more great job to Edel and team

There are a lot of bad reviews about this pub that I have just read and I do agree that a certain member of staff is rather ‘unfriendly’ and very angry looking but I have to big up today - ‘St Patrick’s’ Day’ - great bands, gorgeous free food and extremely hard working staff. Thank you ‘Elm Tree’ for a fantastic day. 🙏☘️🇮🇪💕

Wow wow wow. Just had a Pork roast dinner! Biggest piece of pork I think I've ever seen on a Roast "out". Amazing food! Would 💯 recommend! Top notch! Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Decent Sunday lunch for £15. Lovely pub and staff

Best pub in Beckenham without a doubt!! Always a great atmosphere, especially at the weekends with the live bands/singers on. Food is great also! Edel & Niall do a fantastic job keeping this place in order.

Soul night, last Saturday of the month. Great friendly atmosphere. If you love to dance, this is a must. During the week is a little less busy. Nice garden and really nice engaging staff.

Barmaids a bit abrupt and not very friendly, especially to funeral attenders.. maybe as they're not regulars..

Rude manager, staff look depressed, dark and gloomy atmosphere. Miserable pub. Do NOT recommend. Food is overpriced.

I wish I could give this pub a 0. The manager is EXTREMELY RUDE

What a lovely pub. My first visit, had driven passed a few times Staff very friendly and was impressed when we left they said goodbye . Food was delicious. We definitely will go back

Respectable pub - although the outdoor booths are quite uncomfortable for those with legs…

Went for an event, it was genuine vibe. Everyone there, came to enjoy themselves and the live music was real entertainment!

Good food, good vibes, good times! Now, if they could just up their aircon a bit...

Very friendly, served with a smile!

Great place to spend a Sat evening... good food and live music... excellent vibes ... highly recommended...

Go somewhere else! Terrible, terrible atmosphere in this pub. First interaction was with security, who bluntly told me to take my hat off? Then we were told off again by an old man server with glasses (probably a manager) very rudely, who clearly has no hospitality skills whatsoever, for taking a chair from a table where no one was sat. We walked straight back out. Food looked awful from what we could see too. Would rather spend my money somewhere I’m not going to scolded and told off for simply entering the place. Would rather go to Wetherspoons 100%

We went for a tram ride on the London Tram from Wimbledon to Elmer's End and found the Elm Tree so had a gluten free meal and pot ot tea,it was very nice and reasonably priced.

Managed to adapt the menu to get a gluten free meal,it was very nice.

Terrible customer service and hospitality

Was told, not asked to remove my hat by staff who informed me its the owners policy, well he can stick his policy where the sun doesn't shine, ill not be returning to this dictatorial backwards thinking paddy pub again over priced along with brain washed staff

As pub food goes this place has never disappointed myself nor my family. Now with the addition of cocktails to the menu I can finally have a traditional pub meal with my relatives over an old fashioned.

I much appreciated the very English pub feel. Spent a very pleasant afternoon over a late lunch and a few pints. Very friendly and professional staff, a splendid pub.

What a fabulous ol' style real pub..! Fantastic atmosphere 😀

Great Guinness Absolutely brilliant pace to have a pint and some food.... staff can't do enough for you ... foods great ...and always busy .... highly recommended a visit

Great stuff entertainment band food was good great value great local 💯👌

Awful place, beware they announce a free bar, then serve the regulars only, then charge you! Almost a scam, ale is poorly kept, full of knuckleheads....

We booked a private area with a buffet for around 40 people. Very pleased with everything. The food was superb and plentiful, unlimited tea and coffee, and easy access to the bar. Thank you to all the staff. Most recommended.

The food was amazing, not pub grub at all but restaurant quality & the portions were great too. 5 stars 😁👍😁👍

Nice pint food is nothing to talk about just like mc donalds reheated frozen food why do pubs insist on using oven/ frozen chips in a fryer it just ruins the meal as I could have headed to the supermarket and got the same alot cheaper common guys up your game !

Great pub, great food, great staff, well done guys 👌

This venue exceeded any expectations! The food was fabulous and freshly prepared. Egg mayonnaise sandwiches the best I have EVER tasted. Great value and sensitive to the needs of of our family. I can not thank the staff enough for being the perfect venue to a challenging day.

Celebrating my sons 21st. Absolutely great

Had my late wife's wake there wonderful atmosphere great staff so friendly lovely food smashing beer going back again soon for lunch

Sundays are busy! But well worth a visit! Sundays roast dinners 🍽 😋 are delightful.. crumble dessert too!

Very nice pub, came here for a wake but will definitely be back in different circumstances. The staff were brilliant and the food delicious.

Good quality pub serving traditional pub grub and with excellent staff. Recommended for Sunday lunch with a pint.

Great atmosphere and large garden

My family held our mother’s wake at the Elm Tree last week. Thank you to all the staff for the excellent service. We were so well looked after from the initial booking until everyone left on the day of the wake. So glad we chose the Elm Tree . Thanks again.

Fantastic service, Excellent food Perfect for meeting our friends We will be back again next month Thanks

I didn't eat here, I only had drinks. Service and atmosphere we're good

Great pub with lovely reasonably priced food and excellent servicef

Best place to visit I'm over from Belfast n this place really good

Lovely pub, service very good friendly staff, food very good.

A nice pub with plenty of locals who frequent it. Inside you have a choice of bar with numerous TV screens to watch the sport on. They also do a menu and you can sit and eat without being near a bar. Outside there is plenty of tabled seating including booths with individual screens and heating for chillier nights. They also have live music on certain nights and a quiz. The pub is not dog friendly.

Really family friendly pub with good reliable food.

Sports always on, Guinness always 10/10. What more?

5 stars!! Been going here for years and I cannot believe I have only reviewed this now!! BEST PUB IN BECKENHAM GOOD VIBE WITH THE MOST AMAZING ATTENTIVE STAFF. My go to pub for something to eat and drink whatever the weather. My friends and family also Love love love!

Popped in for lunch with my Mum. The service was friendly and efficient and the food delicious with generous portions. We had the ham, egg and chips and Superfood salad with chicken We will definitely be back

Very good Sunday roast and good service. Will go again.

Looking forward to watching a football game and having a nice lunch, as soon as we walked in the pub, we were greeted with a very moody manager who immediately in a tone of voice that was uncalled for , can you take your hat off! My husband had no problem whatsoever in doing that, it was the way it was said. Very unfriendly. So we ask if we could have a table for ordering food and one was offered with bar stools, not great but we excepted it as the others were reserved. I asked the manager if I could change the seats before I took it apon myself and he said yes no problem. The seats had backs on which were more comfortable for dining. We ordered a round of drinks for us both and our son, some snacks while we looked at the menu. We ordered the halloumi burgers which came with chips and onion rings which was nice, my son had the chicken burger and chips which he liked. We had baby nachos which were a small portion I must say but indeed they were called “baby “ I wouldn’t say they were worth 6.95 though. The burgers were all nearly £15 We ordered another round of drinks and asked to see the desert menu, it wasn’t brought over so I went and asked again. It was given to me and I ordered the chocolate brownie and ice cream for my son and a chocolate fudge sundae to share with my husband. When they came up, the brownie was tiny and wasn’t worth 6.95. The chocolate fudge sundae had none whatsoever a hint of chocolate or fudge, instead it was a tiny bowl again 6.95 of one scoop of strawberry ice cream and one scoop of vanilla ice cream, two macarons which I don’t like and that was it. I took it back to the bar thinking they’d given me the wrong desert as they had macaroons and assorted ice cream on the menu for 3.95 , the girl brought it back and said did you order the chocolate fudge sundae ? and I said yes, she said that is what it is and gave it back to me. I moved the ice cream out the way and right at the bottom was a tiny bit of chocolate sauce. I was still sure it was the wrong desert so I took it back to the bar to the manager and said I’d already brought it back once and the girl told me it was right, I said there’s no chocolate fudge, he said I’ll go and get you the correct one. I went and sat back down and by then I had gone off the idea of the desert. The manager brought the now melting ice cream back to out bar stool table and said I’ve talked to the chef and the sauce at the bottom is chocolate. Handed it back and walked off! No apology, no would you like something else or a refund. Needless to say it was a waste of money as we don’t like vanilla, strawberry or macaroons. So It was left . We won’t be returning to this pub as we just thought the staff are not welcoming or friendly and not trying to make customers very welcome. The food is overpriced for what you get and the ambiance is dire.

Great atmosphere. Great bands. Great beer. Great Guinness. Value for money.

We have usually enjoyed a good time at the Elm Tree, with good food, drinks and atmosphere. However, we received a terrible reception on our last visit. Despite us having been multiple times before and provided thousands of business to once our local pub, we were asked to buy more food and drink, despite 5 of us ordering beers. But as there were some of our group who didn’t want to drink yet, we were asked to leave. This was despite our intentions to order food and drink. Shocking and completely disrespectful, we will not be back.

What a amazing people working there! Thank you for your help today!!!

Yummy food, frirendy staff and customers and fast service

Cracking pub. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Amazing live entertainment.

Went to the soul night here, it was great. Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful staff.

Fantastic place. Great food ,great atmosphere and the bar staff are amazing. As of the 16th August, nothing has changed. They now allow dogs on the front of the pub.

Visited last weekend for the first time, despite being in the area for over 5 years. From North of Ireland, a Guinness was the port of call, and it was excellently served. The guy behind the bar, with a 'home' accent greatest myself and my wife, and on the way out wished us on our travels. The food looked good, and the place had a lot of people in. Will be returning visitors

Oh wow this place! Great set up. Huge garden. The decor is traditional and stylish. Food is always great. Friendly irish fella in charge with a warm welcome. My choice is the triple club sandwich. Try it now. Don't just sit here reading this review.

My god I don't want to soind like a broken record but you would do well to find anywhere in the world with a bunch of staff this miserbale.i can only assume they put everyone on an hour's course before starting on how to be so miserable as it's impressive if it comes naturally...never again shocking came out exhausted from it all

Rude and unprofessional welcome at the door from the bouncer; I understand is a pub and you might have problems on a weekend but the man was rude and had a street talks like we are gangster, decided to not arguing and move to a better place.

Held my Aunt's wake at The Elm Tree and we were very pleased with the quality of the buffet which was good value. The private area used at the rear of the building was set back from the main bar and ideal for our gathering. Adele, Nial and their team were all very helpful. Attentive service and respectful of the occasion. Thank you
